There is only one reason why Trump won the election

Couldn’t be that Hillary was just a corrupt monster no no ignore all her horrible faults it must be because she’s a woman that’s why they supported that lady from Alaska because they hate women, that’s why they elect female senators and representatives cause they hate women.

$hillary's not well liked well-beyond the right, so you're partly right that it wasn't just because she was a woman, it was also because of who she was more broadly.

That said, trotting out a few Phyllis Schlafly clones and holding them up as evidence that the right isn't filled with misogynists is a self-defeating argument. 'See, we have women who think women belong in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant too. They also believe a zygote has more claim to a woman's flesh than she herself has and that miscarriage is murder.' really doesn't make the point you'd like it.

Further, take note of how many of Sarah Palin's male supporters mostly focus on her looks; same goes for many of Fox Propaganda Channel (and similar) talking heads. Ann Coulter is one of the few who actually seems to have her ideas taken seriously by her own supporters, and to her credit she's had to work quite a bit at making sure the Roger Ailes type creeps on the right know how badly she'll go after them if they try anything. She also is a 'bigger' figure than many others, and has more clout to expend. Instead it seems like the powerbrokers within the right (like Ailes) largely treated women within the conservative movement as their own personal harem - according to many of those women in their own words (like the various Fox employees and ex-employees).

TL;DR - Yes, there's plenty of blatant misogyny built into the 'traditionalist' right. The only women in power who don't trigger them are the Stepford Schlaflys who only ever espouse politically and ideologically correct talking points.

Why do you want pro coal just want to know?

Most US cities do not have much smog*, so in some regions the economic politics of coal mining are more powerful than the environmental politics.

There are areas where coal mines are the largest employers, and in those areas there is often a distinct subculture (comparable to the subcultures that existed at major seaports in Europe).

(*Until recently the US had stricter emissions regulations for diesels, and our tax laws also make diesel passenger cars uncommon. Houses in southern regions don't have furnaces at all, and houses in northern regions are usually heated with methane rather than oil.)

The people who support Trump pretty much have to pretend to be liberals just to not get murdered.

The only person who was murdered in a clash between Trump supporters and liberals was Heather Heyer, and she was a liberal.

It doesn't matter no matter what people say, anyone can be so ignorant that they decide to twist the argument and type an unsound answer.

This may be what makes more likelihood of civil war starting.

Let it go.

Dancing banana?

Yup

Looks can be deceiving, he's an allegory to fascist pumpkins.

One of the reasons Trump was elected is because in the 2010s, everything has become offensive.
